Go Back A Step Tool For Paint App
does anyone know of any actionscript that will act as a go back a step tool by undoing the actions of the mouse back to the last mouse down.
the actionscript used to paint is the following:
****
onMouseDown = function () {
paintClip.moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
onMouseMove = function () {
paintClip.lineStyle(thickness, colour, alpha);
paintClip.lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
};
};
onMouseUp = function () {
onMouseMove = null;
};
****
somehow i need to revert back to the prevouse mousedown thus acting as a go back, does this mean i need code to log every mouse down?
im using flash8 as2 and have included the .fla

Constructing A Paint Tool
Hello,
Would it be possible to have a help from you?
I need to build a tool to "tone up" to a childish website.
At the movie I'm using, I have the following structure:
1º frame / 1ºlayer - 4 different colors's buttons, red, green, blue e yellow.
1º frame / 2ºlayer - A cat's draw separated on two movieclips, 1 containing the cat's head, and the other the body.
Actually by clicking a button using a property I can change the color of one of the movieclips. But, what I really need is that:
By clicking in one of the buttons it stores a rgb color and release it on clicking one of the movieclips changing the movieclip's selected color. ( A tool which works as the "flash's paint bucked tool". )
Any suggestions/solution?

Paint Tool Is Going Insane
This is a little embarassing but I've reached my wits end with this! For some reason my paint tool has... reversed its function. Instead of drawing lines and what-not, it only makes full shapes. I'm not sure how to describe it this but here-goes:
When I try to just draw a single line with the paintbrush tool, it simply disappears after I release the mouse. However, when I make a full (closed) shape it fills it in and any lines that intersect the shape are cut out.
If you need a picture, I'll post a few. But please help me out! I'm going insane!
PS: This also seems to be only happening on ONE of my movie clips (I'm editting inside the MC). All of the other ones work fine.

Paint Bucket Tool
Hello everybody - I am creating a square using the rectangle tool. Then I am using the line tool to draw a diaganal line from corner to corner of the square, dividing it into 2 triangles.
I want to use the paint bucket tool to fill one of the triangles with a blue colour and delete the 2nd triangle.
I am having trouble doing this simple exercise. I can only select one line at a time. I feel that if I can select all the lines of the triangle that I could fill it with the colour that I want. I have tried holding down the shift key to select multiple lines but I am having no luck with this simple exercise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Spray Paint Tool In CS4
By now i"m sure a lot of people have worked with the spray paint tool in CS4. If you look at the example on Adobe they spray paint a star movie clip across the sky and instantly upon publishing the stars are all blinking. well it's not really that simple, but it can be.
1st of all making a class with particle type functions will and attaching it to the library item will work. this is how I would do it for myself.
But i want it easier for people that don't really understand ActionScript yet.
I made this class below:
ActionScript Code:
package
{
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import flash.events.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.display.*;
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
public class Particle extends MovieClip
{
//change the frequency
private var frequency:Number = 25;
private var timer:Timer;
private var r:Number;
public function Particle()
{
timer = new Timer(1500, 1);
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, doTween);
timer.start();
}
public function doTween(e:TimerEvent):void
{
r = Math.round(Math.random()*frequency);
if(r==5){
play();
}
timer.reset();
timer.start();
}
}
}
Just call the Particle class from your library item.
It works great now you can place a stop action on the 1st frame of your movie clip and the clip will randomly play the MovieClip.
The only problem I see is that you would need to duplicate this class if you want to put it on two library items.
does anyone know a way to call the class twice for use by people that don't know how to create or duplicate new classes, yet?
Maybe I'm just over thinking it...
Thanks!

A Fill Tool For A Paint App?
hi,
i was trying to get my head round creating a fill tool for a paint program im creating in flash.
I was thinking for example if a user was to draw a circle, when the fill tool was used within that circle it could use a hit test to determin the edge of the circle, i then realised that the hit test methord uses movieclips, this being a bad thing as the shapes to be filled are being drawn in real time by the user
How would i write actionscript that acted as a fill tool? I know there is a fill command in the dictionary but i only know how to use it when drawing shapes in actionscript.
i have included the .fla file, its flash8 as2
Thanks vic.

Paint Busket Tool
I'm using Flash 5 for this;
I selected the paint bucket (Fill) tool, selected solid from the Fill panel, and clicked on my empty work space to fill it, nothing happened.
I then drew a complete circle with the pencil tool, tried to fill it, again, nothing happened.
How do you use this tool?

Coding Colour Fill / Paint Bucket-tool.
I'm developing something of a paint application and need to find a solution for making a paint bucket tool. Users should be able to fill outlines of movieclips with any colour.
How should I go about this?
My first thought is to somehow extract each "area" of the outline, and make a new - separate and transparent - movieclip of them. The paint bucket would simply call setRGB or somesuch, on that overlay.
But how on earth do I do that from actionscript? This version of the application, will only have pre-drawn movieclips (outlines of different motives) for the user to fill in, but I don't want my illustrator to spend time manually creating separate layers for each area of those motives (lots and lots of them).
Perhaps you can see a different approach altogether? Is there a function for doing colour fills (within outlines, not entire movieclips) avaliable in the Flash drawing API?

Go Back One Step
Can anyone tell me if there is a simple way to go back one step - sort of a back button? The problem is the movie is not sequential so back could be anything - I need it to basically "load previous movie"- or "reload previous .swf" ... something like that. New to ac and using Flash 5 - Thanks!!

Player Detection ....this Is A Step Back
With previous versions of flash ( 5/6/7) you were alerted either via a warning message or the appearence of an empty icon (there where your swf was sitting) if you needed to upgrade your flash player on your browser in order to see all the flash contents of the page.
But now, say you have flash player 7 on your machine, and you open a page featuring some flash 8 content, you will not have a clue you are missing something on that page.
And if you right click there where you know (because say you are the author of that page) is some flash 8 content, you will get a pop up window telling you about your flash 7 setting... nothing else.
Is this going to be fixed?

Urgent Help: How To Remove The Accumaltion When Show Movies Step By Step With Buttons
I want to show the movie step by step by clicking the next button. Inside each frame, many movie clips are generated dynamically at runtime, and they can be played interactively.
I achieves the step-by-step display of those frames by adding another layer with the action stop(). But I got one trouble: all the movie clips from previous frames are accumalted. How to remove the accumulation from previous frames?
For the continuous display of the movie, I tried to use onEnterFrame() and change the _visible property of all the movie clips to false in this function. But it doesn't work for the step-by-step display. Once I click the next button, the movie clips at the current frame just show very quickly, then disappear. What should I do?
I need to fix this immediately.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Erasing LineTo Functions Step-by-step
I have a function that allows the user to draw shapes using the lineTo() function. Is there any way to step backwards and erase the previously drawn segment?
My only thought is to continue to draw, only draw over the previous segment using the background color. This is a little sloppy, though. So I'm looking for something akin to an eraseTo() function.
any thoughts, tutorials, or examples would be greatly appreciated!!

Clicktag Step By Step Instructions For Ad Banners?
Hi, I’m mostly a beginner with flash actionscript. A site we advertise on asks me to embed a clicktag script to help them track the stats for each banner. I’ve read the directions on macromedia/adobe, I’m still a little confused. I have to make the whole banner clickable, so can I just create a movie clip on the top layer, make the alpha 0% and add this script to it to do so?:
on (release) {
getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
}
I’m looking for more thoruough step by step instructions to ensure that whatever I hand over to them will work.
Any info or sample flash files would be great, thanks!

Need A Step-by-step Help In Creating A Complicated Form
Hi! I've asked some help from 'flash8' thread.
but i've decided to ask for help the whole chunk of what i'm trying to do as i'm really new with flash, but i'd like to try doing this as i've been trying to gather bit by bit here and there from kirupa site. but i really am not sure of what i really have to do ...the correct way.
my flash movie would consist of :
a) scrollable menu where my multiple image of png will load into
b) multiple (could also be one image) of png images that will gradually appear into the same folder where my .fla file is.
c) a layer of frame (more of a window, it's scrollable upwards & downwards) - the place for my original sized png image to appear
d) dropdown menu - that will contain form1, form2, form3 [form1, form2, form 3 will represent which part of the png image willl be shown in (b): form1 = top, form2 = middle, form3 = bottom]
1) a png image (possible that the png image will come in multiple) will load into my flash movie automatically, specifically all of them will load on a scrollable menu one after another, side by side with the png image size reduced to fit into the menu.
2) once i click one of the png image on the menu, the image will appear beneath its [like what i've explained in (c)]. this image is scrollable only upwards & downwards within the windowframe, and it should be the original size (not the reduced one to be fit into the menu)
3)below, there's a dropdown menu [i've explained in (d)] that will be chosen from, let's say form1 is chosen. the window where the scrollable png image is, will show the part where i set form1 is for.
please help me.
thank you so much if anyone could help me with this.

Need Step By Step FME To FMS To Web Client Info
I am new to FMS and FME. I have streamed media for several years using Windows Media Encoder (WME) to a third party server and then to clients on the net. I am trying to do the same thing with FME and FMS while bypassing the third party server. I am having no luck and getting errors when I just try to stream to FMS from FME even after trying other forum threads. Here's my info:
Wnidows 2003 server
Server IP address 192.168.0.1
Router Address 192.168.0.2: port 3601 open
Dynamic IP address on ISP (I can get my current ip address from "whatismyip.com. I also use "No-IP.com to provide a static address).
I am using a Viewcast 230 Video capture card which seems to be working perfectly with FME. So that's not a problem.
I do not have Dreamweaver or Flash CS3 on this machine. However I do have them on another computer.
I need the "type this for Dummies" approach. And, then, what do I tell clients to enter in their browser in order to view my stream?

Also wondering if there are any on accessability and usability - something that seems to be not thought of very thoroughly in many Flash sites.

Looking For A Step-By-Step Tutorial
Hey all,
I have searched the forums, the tutorials, and Google but with little luck. I am looking for a tutorial/guide/book that goes step-by-step the process of creating a flash website from scratch using Flash MX 2004. I know there are a lot of really great tutorials on this site, but they seem to be more geared towards one or two tasks in each one.
I did find a tutorial that was supposed to be a step-by-step guide, but it was for Flash 5 so the directions did not work and/or the pictures were not the same as in Flash MX 2004.
I know the way I learn and I think I would do best with a step-by-step (w/pictures) guide that shows how to make a flash website from absolute scratch (ground zero, day one, etc... ). I am more than willing to purchase a book or CD/DVD-type course, I just haven't been able to find a good one. I work during the day, and have other responsibilites in the evening, otherwise I would look to take a class at night. I would be open to taking an online course too if there are any available.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can provide!
